I guess would have been due to parts harder to find?

No not at all. It has to do with money.
When we quote them 150-200 for a full service, they dont want to even go there when they can buy a $299 victa 18" brand new.Or even cheaper at bunnings. People in general arent focused on qualilty, they are focused on price.
Alot of things are just not worth fixing any more. At least in there eyes anyway . Ok enough of my little rant. Let's keep this on topic.

That surely can't be the price on a service? I mean say it was a newer mower is that still the price?

No. A newer one that gets looked after would be around the 110 to 140 mark. But all the older ones that come in get thrashed and when alot of parts need replacing it all adds up.
Sorry mate, I didnt mean to shock you with a price but alot of mowers that come in just dont get looked after.

Yes that would be good James. Nathan I'm a bit the same way. I'll never buy a new mower,there just doesn't seem to be any quailtiy control anymore. The old girls were always made to last.
